Saw this on the 'bay. Another Made In China product. If I could buy it locally I would probably splurge.

They have really tried to put a lot of function in to one tool, not sure adding the hammer is the best idea

I've seen adjustable wrench's used as a hammer. So might not be a bad idea.

Wera does offer a hammer/ratchet Combo tool.
It´s aimed at scaffolding builders/riggers. From what I´ve seen they will use anything (including their ratchets) as a hammer when they need one,so it seems like a logical step.
And Wera is not the company to sell "Toy" tools, so the concept should be ok.

PS: I don´t recommend browsing the site. It will not be cheap. You have been warned.

I have a ratcheting podger that frequently gets used as a hammer.
It would be cheaper to break an awful lot of them than buy a Koloss, nice as they are.
